98. Air Force III

Year Introduced: 1988

The Nike Air Force III was the quintessential bulky '80s basketball shoe. Worn by most of Nike's big-man pros as well as several elite college programs, the Air Force III was rough and tough and well-deserving of the Force name. That plastic heeltab with the NIKE AIR on the back was significant on more than just Air Jordans.
